Special Dad

Hi fellow bloggers, I hope you are all having a nice weekend:) I have been having a very productive crafting few days..... I had to finish off my projects to send into The Hobby House semi final design team call, which  are supposed to be there for Tuesday .... so off I toddled up to our local Post Office and guess what!!! they decided to close 1 hour earlier than they should..... how annoying, not even a note on the door to apologise:( ...  (I hope to share these projects with you next week!) 
So I came home and made a 'gents' card!!!! No pink!, no lace, but I still couldn't resist a little bit of bling:) I have made the card for my dad for Fathers Day...... thought I had better try and be a bit more organised now that I have DT projects to complete and as I have been promising myself to make a few more male cards, this was the perfect opportunity!

• The card is 8x8
• The image is from LOTV Vintage Boys - Sketch pad set 1. I have coloured the image in using Copics.
• The papers are Nitwit Collection - Petal Fresh. Cardstock is Core'dinations
• Spellbinder dies - Die-D-lites Poppy Patch and Whimsical Tree.  Labels Twenty Eight
• Marianne Design creatables - Grass, Bird, and bird house
• Magnolia Dohickeys - Lovely Fence
• Letters stamps - my stash

LOTV - Little Fairy

Evening all! I hope you are all doing well......... Today I have been working on my DT work for Heartfelt Creations, but Mr Mojo is really not playing the game this last few day:( I have however made a scrapbook layout.... ( you will get to peek at this next week) not really sure about it but hey we are all a loud our off days, aren't we!
So anyway I decided today that I would have a little clear out in my craft room........ isn't it surprising how much we hoard, even when we know we will probably never use it:(  I have this terrible habit of keeping every single scrap of paper left over from my projects and end up with boxes and drawers of little bit's of paper that I will probably never use.... so now ALLL GONE!. I now have a clean and tidy craft room!
So anyway today I would like to share with you a little card I made a few days ago........ I was going for a clean and elegant look..... but me being me had to add a few more flowers and pearls, oh and lace....... and then a bow! but thats me I suppose, however I am quite pleased with the way it turned out, I hope you like it too:)

• The base card is 5"x7" and is made using Spellbinder die - Enchanted Labels 28 as is the tag.
• The sentiment I think came with a freebie set from a magazine many moons ago.
• The image is a fairy from LOTV sketch pad set 6 - Fairies and I have coloured her in using copics.
• Papers - Nitwits Collection: Country Lady
• Other Spellbinder dies that I used  - Labels 28, A2 matting Basics B
• Flowers - The Hobby House
• Lace, pearls and ribbon - my stash
• The diamante star  - Mei Flower
